Skid

This digipak set from 1970 saw
the Brush Shields-led power-trio
showcase the guitar and vocal
talents of the teen Gary Moore.
Moore pointedly surfaces on
opener Mad Dog Woman, one of
the bluesier of the nine numbers
here, albeit hijacked by some
bongo madness at the end. The
same goes for the meandering
psych-tinged Virgo’s Daughter,
with its Amerindian chanting and
drums, but much of the remainder
is a mix of jazz fusion with scatting
and worse. The guitar work is
frenzied in places and the
percussion syncopated, but it’s all
pretty dated, and the weird
11-minute closer of Felicity is a
misnomer!
